Aaron's day out

Aaron got to go on an adventure today with his Nanny Shirley and Aunt Donna.

First they went to McDonalds for lunch and Aaron got a cool Mario Visor.

Next they went to the Suncor Energy Fluvarium, Aaron and I have been there twice before, with his class in Kindergarten and Grade 1, for field trips.

Then they did a little shopping at Walmart.

Finally, they went back to Aunt Donna's house for a swim in the hot tub.

And what did Mommy do while Aaron was out?  Housework.  I did take a break and stitched a little, here is an update on Lily of the Valley.




Also, my brand new Fall/Winter lia sophia style guides arrived.

6 months!!!!

Has it really been 6 months since I posted.  Between colds, allergies, work, therapy, camera and computer problems,etc, etc, etc  the year has just flown by at warp speed.

I'm hoping I'm back and going to post more often.

Aaron's room is finished and I'll be posting pictures of the completed room in a day or two.  I've painted a pantry cupboard and added it to the dining room, those pictures are coming.

I'm heading to Florida next Tuesday for the CTMH convention and you will be overloaded with those pictures.

My lia Sophia business has been growing every month and I'm very pleased with that.

Mr Aaron is finishing Kindergarten on Thursday so I'll share some pictures of his school year on the weekend.

Hopefully this is just the start of things to come.

lia sophia

In my last post I told you about how I joined Close to My Heart in this one I;m going to tell you about lia sophia and how I became an advisor for them.

I love selling CTMH but since I also love to scrapbook, for 11 years now, most of my profits have found their way into my scrapbook room so I decided I needed another way to make some money I could spend on other things.  In March my mom had a lia sophia party which I atteded and fell in love with their jewellery so I booked a party as well.  After receiving all the jewellery I got for hosting a party I realized there was a lot more I wanted so I signed up to be an advisor.  Since I started I've purchased a beautiful Canon camera and the extra money has allowed me to make payments on a new car.

If you've never heard of lia sophia check out their website: lia sophia  They have beautiful costume jewellery wit ha lifetime guarentee.  You are interested in purchasing anything contact me and if you are in the St. John's area why not host a party the jewellery makes beautiful Christmas gifts.

My Brand New Blog

Hi and Welcome to my brand new blog.  I've decided to revamp my bloging life and try to creat a life journal type blog.  There are lots of new things happening around here and I want to try and record them mostly so I don't forget anything but also to share them with my friends, old and new.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Deanne, most importantly Mom to Aaron, secondly Independant Advisor for lia sophia jewellery and Consultant for Close to My Heart scrapbooking and stamping, advid reader, cross stitcher, and shopper.  Self proclaimer Pintrest-aholic, fantasy interior designer, and total procrastinator.

This is a picture of Aaron and I taken on his 5th birthday, July 28th.  Aaron was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Sept 2008, thus the name of my blog.  One of the big changes happening here is Aaron starts school on Thursday, thankfully he will be there to hold my hand.  He's the sweetest little boy in the world and I am so lucky to have him.  One of the things that has helped me over the last few years is reading Natalie's wonderful blog about her son with Asperger's Syndrome: My Yellow Apple

I think that's a pretty good introduction of Aaron and I, don't want to bore you to death on the first post.
